Fly line backing serves two basic purposes. The first is to fill up your reel so that your fly line completes the filling of your reel to within, say, 1/8th inch of the spool capacity. The second is to still stay connected when a big fish strips of all your fly line!
For most purposes, the No Frills backing is perfectly adequate as a trout backing line.
If you require a stronger line, say for salmon fishing,then you should consider another backing line on this counter. If you are using small reels and have limited space for the backing but require a long length of it for big fish - then, again, you require one of the more advanced backings.

You will have to glue the slip knot or arbour knot to the reel or the backing will revolve around the reel axle.

It does sound like you have something wrong somewhere. I will arrange for an advisor to give you a call to try and resolve this with you.

Goods arrived next working day when ordered on line. Particularly impressed that everything I ordered arrived. So often one or two items showing as in stock then are listed on back order and arrive two months later when you no longer need them.

Great service and very quick delivery ordered from another company a day before this order and still received this order a day earlier . Will use again for future equipment .

Shipping via DHL was problematic as my area is poorly serviced by this carrier. Otherwise ok, but wish I would have known that DHL was the carrier that would have been used as Royal Mail is significantly better in my experience.

The only issue I have is that I ordered 20lb backing line and I was sent 30lb. When I tried to contact customer services via Internet site my comments would not send. I can use the 30lb but would have preferred to use the one I ordered

Easy to deal with on-line - but you would get more business from me if you didn't have that offensive premium rate phone line!
